Derby County - Sheffield United predictions

Derby County will likely try to secure a draw at most. They are outclassed by Sheffield United, plain and simple, and most bookies online agree with this – after all, the betting odds on a home win for this match are 3.57.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Sheffield United are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.25 on them winning.

Derby County went into their previous Championship match on the back foot, yet managed to get a draw half-time result in spite of the home-field disadvantage. Their opponents, Cardiff City , scored the deciding goal in the second half, resulting in a narrow 2:1 defeat in hte end.

A 0:3 defeat is not something The Blades expected when it comes to their previous league match. They were clear favourites to claim a win but ended up disappointing their fans. Therefore the Saturday clash is a perfect opportunity to bounce back.

Derby County can’t seem to maintain a proper defence whenever they play as visitors. With 7 concessions over the past three away games, it’s obvious some tweaks need to be made in defence.

Derby already played against Sheffield United in an earlier round of this Championship season. The Blades ended that match with a solid home win, though it wasn’t exactly a decisive victory. They’ll be trying to repeat that success, though it’s worth keeping in mind that they’re the away team this round.

The visitors clearly have the upper hand in this matchup, which is made even more sure thanks to the presence of their entire roster. They’ve had no injuries or suspensions recently, leaving their lineup intact for the game.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 2.27 at Pncl.
